Evidence Requirements
Evidence must document the entire CPI Link noted on the Entry Cover Sheet.
Evidence should relate only to the CPI Link, not assess other skills as well.
Providing evidence that documents multiple skills (skills not part of the selected CPI Link), or less than the entire CPI Link, will result in a low scoring entry.
Have at least 5 items/questions/task elements included in each activity This is a new requirement, though many portfolios sufficiently addressed this concept last year.
The use of videotape, audiotape, data charts, and most photographs are no longer acceptable evidence.
This change is due to the need to document complete information related to the activity and the student performance of the skill.
A photograph of a large or bulky completed project will be accepted only if the picture captures the evidence requirements for the activity.
A description of the activity must be included along with the documentation of the scoring, but the actual work must be clearly shown in the picture. For example, a picture of a poster that displays the student’s work of classification of different shapes.
Scribing Student Work
Students who communicate, for example, through the use of eye gaze do not write or mark answers in a tangible way.
When this occurs an acceptable work sample for the portfolio can be produced in which the teacher scribes the answers indicated by the student. The teacher should note on the evidence that it was scribed.
